003↠ ACTION/VOICE -- Chibi free for all
[ooc note: Okay, here's the deal, folks. Rather than create two posts for chibi!Sanji and risk losing my tags (because it would happen, trust me), this is the only entry I'll put up. I'm going to leave it up to you what age Sanji will be when your character(s) run into him. I put out the scenarios, and you guys run with them. |D Don't be afraid to be creative, I don't mind. Just mention the age in the subject line. If you want more than one chance to tag, create another thread, and specify the new age. |D Easy, yes? Possible ages are 11 through 20. Possible dates are February 3 through the 12. I am fine with either voice or action, though if it's voiced, it'll be assumed your character contacted Sanji through the journals first.
Ladies who volunteered to be crushed on! The applicable ages for that are 14 and up. But of course, you can interact with a younger version of Sanji if you want.
And also, bear with me on the icon front. >> There are plenty pictures of Sanji as a child and an adult, but not much in-between. U-use your imagination? ;A;]
[Nights have been rough so far, with strange dreams lingering on after his eyes have opened. And it makes him feel... different, somehow, like his life has altered in leaps and bounds. Skills that weren't accessible before, come to him easily. There are recipes in his head that shouldn't be there. He almost wishes he could tell someone about them; maybe one of the crew, eventually. They're nice enough, and have been more than accommodating, taking him in like this.
These thoughts are heavy to carry, but he's still a young boy suddenly trapped in a weird town with weird things. His attention isn't meant to dwell on problems for long. The goal to find Zeff eventually lessens to a dull ache, and Sanji busies himself with exploration: this Seventh Heaven restaurant, for one, and maybe the grocery store. He visits the item shop on a the fickle whim of a curious child, and eventually finds his way to the forest. He won't run away, though. He promised himself he wouldn't try anymore.]
[And in just a few days, Sanji finds himself forced to leave adolescence behind. It's more than a little obvious that something isn't right. While the crew has probably mentioned the nature of experiments, all the explanations in the world aren't gonna make this any less awkward, as he speeds through growth spurts and into sore, lanky limbs. He's grumpy half the time, flustered as well... which seems to happen like clockwork, whenever a pretty girl is nearby. He spends the majority of these days as red as a tomato and resorting to petty insults if it will get people out of his hair. When it gets hard to control, he seeks solitude to practice stretching and single-sparring. Or perhaps Nami. She's going through the same thing, too.
House 6 and Seventh Heaven are still his main places of solace. He considers himself a worthy enough cook by now, though he will often yield to Yukito's directions. He's broadened his explorations, however; he heavily frequents the forestplains, and will use the teleporters to sneak off to the ocean, when he feels like it.]
[Given enough time, the strangest of circumstances stop being strange, and turn into a compromised status-quo. Sanji barely gives any attention to his nightly dreams now - they come and he changes, both mentally and physically. His temper is still hot as ever, but slowly being tempered by a knack for cunning and kindness. Even his initial anxiety around women has all but disappeared - he eagerly greets them now, with what the residents might note to be his usual enthusiasm. Still rough around the edges and prone to silliness (or hormone spikes), but that's Sanji for you.
He knows the entire village layout, and you can find him anywhere: item shop, grocery, clothing store, battle dome, forest, ocean... He finds a reason to visit them all because sometimes, it's easier walking blindly, even when you don't really have a place to go to.]

[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
...I-Is there something on my face? Jeez, Curly, you're freaking me out.
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
[Hold on a minute, she's talking to him? Now it's Sanji's turn to look a little unsure. That's not a comment he can let go unquestioned, even if she is really pretty]
Uh... I think you've got the wrong guy, Miss.
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
Oh, come on! Don't tell me you've up and forgot me already! I was just here a little bit ago, jeez! Sure you looked kinda different, but you couldn't have forgotten me so fast! That's not very nice. [Pout.] I'm Norma. Norma Beatty, the best treasure hunter the Legacy's ever seen! Don't tell me you really forgot, Curly!
[And now she's leaning forward with a very huffy expression. FEEL HER SCORN. FEEL IT.]
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
I-I'm sorry, Norma-san! [Sanji looks as confused as he feels, desperately trying to quell the woman's scorn with a promising explanation.] Uh, I think it's what everyone calls an experiment?
A lot of people say they know me when I'm older.
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
[Bluh, this stinks. Another of her friends forgot she even existed. As if it wasn't hard enough dealing with Grune's constant state of blissful, amniotic Grune...ness.] Yeah, you and I met when you're older. You're a whole lot taller, got some scruff on on your face, and wear your hair on this side. [She covers up her eye.] And you're one heck of a cook, too! I've never had anything better before in my whole life, no lie!
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15] 1/2
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
Ah-- thank you! [It really is a compliment, knowing his food will be so good, others will consider it the pinnacle of their eating careers, so to speak. ] I can make you something now, if you'd like! [Eager puppy face is inserted here]
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
Oooh, you read my mind, Curly, thanks a bunch! What does the chef have to offer for his fine friend today, hm? ♥ I'm not too picky, so long as it's good.
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
Steak au Poivre! [If he's going to impress a lady, might as well go all-out]
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
That looks amazing! You can really make something like that?! [Because good lord, that looks so damn ritzy. Norma kind of feels bad that she can't tip the kid. ...Kind of.] I'll take one!
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
[Ahaha nearly forgot to offer her a drink there. >>]
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
Norma leans forward, resting her chin on her hands, and smiles as she icks her legs to and fro playfully.]
Surprise me.
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
I'll have it right out for you, Norma-san! [And so he flees, blood boiling while he formulates and plans and cooks and taste-tests fervently -- all for the sake of making a lady happy.
The end result is a masterpiece. Perhaps not quite as extravagant when compared to what a 21-year-old Sanji would come up with, but it looks hella delicious, and it will taste it, too. As for the drink? Norma seems the kind of girl who appreciates sweetness, so Sanji brings her out a glass of what would equate to a wine cooler. >>]
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
She waits patiently, or as patiently as she can, humming to herself and drawing Relares symbols on the back of her hand with the pen for her journal. When boredom strikes... But! Sanji's back and he's carrying something that looks fit for gods.]
Wh-Whoooa...! [Jeez, it almost looks too good to eat! Her stomach rages in protest at the thought however, so in no time, Norma's taking a bite, melting at the variety of flavors frolicking happily along her taste buds.] O-Oh my g--! This is amazing!
[Now that drink...ooh~! Sweet and bubbly, just how she likes.] Oooh, Curly, you're awesome! You really made all this yourself?! It's delicious!
[Seventh Heaven - Age 15]
Anything for a pretty lady~! [Beaming just slightly] I'm glad Norma-chan approves.
